Bravest soldiers ever seen

Off to work as patients scream

Marching on past fear they tread

Nursing care to each sick bed.

The world we knew has changed its spin

As mothers lock their family in

We hide in fear yet they begin

Another shift, those lives to win.

Mothers, fathers, daughters, sons

Leave at home their dear loved ones

Selfless angels facing dangers

To ease the suffering of total strangers.

We must also do our bit

To try and halt the spread of it

STAY IN, stay well, do not digress

To help support our NHS.

Helping to homeschool my grandson, his assignment was to write a personified poem about a dragon and together we came up with this.....

When I was cooking noodles

Trying not to make a mess

I heard a dragon crying

And I must now confess

I dropped what I was doing

Upon mums tidy floor

When I saw that dragon screaming

Right by my kitchen door.

I leapt beneath the table

But the dragon  seemed so sad

Then he whispered to me

“Help, my foot, it hurts so bad”

So I looked way down at his foot

And right there in his toe

Was the biggest thorn I’d ever seen

I knew that it must go.

I told him then to look away

And I pulled that thorn right out

I got that biggest ever shock

When he let out such a shout.

But then the pain was gone away

And the dragon smiled with joy

And asked if we could be best friends

“The dragon and the boy”

So now when I want noodles

The dragon holds me tight

And off we go to China

As dragon lifts off into flight.

So if you ever wonder

What you see up at the sky

It just might be me and dragon

Cause my best friend he can fly.

Some days seem so much longer than the 24 hours that are attributed to them. And some people cause that elongated problematic day just because they can!

First blog

So strange to go totally blank when I usually have so much to say. I wonder did I feel like this when I posted my very first status on facebook!

Words

Words can be good, and they can be bad

Loaded with memories and fun that you’ve had

They can offer direction where in life you can be

Just open the door and set your mind free.

Yes words can be flattering, tell us we’re great

Or describe the pong when you flagellate.

Whatever the terms, or phrases you say

Words help us to work and allow us to pray.

How curious then, when important like this

The words we can hear, yet the point we still miss.

We all have inside us, cause we all possess 

The means via words for our thoughts to express.

So don't be a stranger, come have a look

Read the words that I’ve written for you in this book...
